Office of Security and Emergency Management
Evacuation

Building administrator initiates evacuation procedures.

 

Evacuation:

Emergency situations change quickly and your evacuation route may have to be changed.

  • Bombs: Notify staff of evacuation route dictated by known or suspected location of a bomb device.
  • Fire: Primary routes may be blocked by smoke or fire. Know secondary routes.
  • Chemical Spill: Total avoidance of hazardous materials is necessary. Fumes can overcome a person in seconds. Plan routes accordingly.

 

If You Need to Evacuate:

  • Teachers take class rosters.
  • Teachers stay with students.
  • Instruct students to go immediately, in a calm and orderly manner, to the designated assembly area.
  • Do not lock classroom doors when leaving.
  • Once classes have reached the designated area, teachers count all students and immediately report any missing student(s) to the school administrator.
  • Remain at the designated area until directed by the school administrator.

 

Relocation:

  • Building administrator determines whether students and staff should be evacuated to a relocation center.
  • Building administrator or school emergency response team designee notifies relocation center.
  • If necessary, a school emergency response team designee coordinates transportation to relocation center.
  • Teachers stay with class en route to the relocation center and take attendance upon arriving at the center.
  • Use student release forms for students who are picked up from a relocation center.
  • Notify superintendent’s office and district public information office of relocation center address.

 

Relocation Centers:

List primary and secondary relocation centers. The primary site is usually located close to the school. The secondary site is usually farther away. Include maps and written directions to centers for staff reference.
